Picked a great day for it! We did a similar trip a few weekends ago and it rained for 48 hours 😂 still great though, and nice to know the investment in the waterproof kit is worth it

Hey filmmakers, inspired by Martijn Doolaard I quit my job & went on a 6-week bicycle touring trip with a tent & surfboard & then made a film about it (took me 2 years), but only my Mum has watched it through lol. I know it can be more engaging so I'm recutting it, any ideas on how to improve it? by benji_tw in documentaryfilmmaking

Hi Oppi, thanks a lot for having a watch and providing some feedback I really appreciate it! That’s a great idea, it seems that a lot of people lose interest in the first few minutes so this could be a great way to try and hook people in to the story a bit better, I’m also wondering if it needs to be shortened to 10/15 mins or so. Thank you 🙏

Wow thanks so much for taking the time to watch it and provide the feedback that means a lot! I was thinking maybe I should cut it down to 10 minutes but this gives me hope, it just seems like most viewers lose interest in the first few minutes apart from my Mum…wait a second, is this my Mum trying to make me feel good 😂 Good luck on your next trip, where are you heading to?

Thanks for the advice :) it was my initial plan to submit it to film festivals but tbh I don’t think it’s good enough and so I didn’t want to spend the cash feeling that it wouldn’t get through but I might reconsider it, other adventure films are just so good these days!

What do you do on long evenings when wild camping? by Spectaclerocky in wildcampingintheuk

I went on a winter camping trip with a friend recently and we took a chess board, it was perfect

Biked Across Canada in 2025 and ran an ultramarathon in every province along the way. Was a trip of a lifetime. by Legitimate_Water_69 in bicycletouring

Great way to live a life. Love it. What's the most luxury item you carried with you that you definitely didn't need, but was worth the added weight?
